The letter was quite illuminating (albeit being too long and not focused enough for my taste). I looked up Determinate Systems and it looks like their primary aim is to provide and monetize a bettered nix tied to their FlakeHub platform. In this context, the lack of progress on the poor usability and documentation, which have plagued the core Nix project for as long as I can recall, is entirely unsurprising.
